Glitterfest Fall 2011!

Yesterday, I picked up my friend Christine of Dollybelle's Peepshow and Belle Femme Gazette and we headed down to Santa Ana, CA to shop at Glitterfest.  It did not disappoint!  The doors opened at 10am but I don't think we arrived until after 11am.  It was completely mobbed with happy shoppers and there were still lots of beautiful items left for us to ooooh and ahhhh over.

Cutie Sandi Woods and me in front of her booth... I'm showing off my new bracelet!

Gorgeous necklaces!

Darling French decor!

Adorable!

~ Sue and Virginia ~

Unfortunately, they do not have blogs.  Here they are holding my two new Halloween pieces, a Halloween girl and her cat and a cute little crow! These ladies are both so talented!

One of my favorite girls... Michelle of Mosaic Cottage! Always such a pleasure to see you Michelle! (Picture borrowed from Lisa Loria - thanks Lisa!)

And here is the Dolly Queen herself, Lisa Loria!

Her creations stop people right in their tracks... they just have to come and look!

I just couldn't pass up one of Estella's darling handmade snowmen. I can't wait to put him out for Christmas! Sorry no blog to reference. (Photo borrowed from Lisa Loria - thanks Lisa!)

And look at these gorgeous necklaces!

We had such a fun day and topped it off by having lunch at the Memphis Cafe in the cool art area of downtown Santa Ana.  They have the BEST Portabella mushroom burgers ever!

Have a great week ahead All!

Hi Holly,

The squirrel costume is a scream! My gosh, I don't know where to begin with my favorites of all that you've shown...I do love those gloves! And I love the doll art pieces..the one with the head on top of the old candy dispenser and all of the jewelry.

Fill your day with Pink Sparkly faerie dust,

Love and Hugs,
Steph ♥
